.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / March 2006How to see VS2005 IDE Dev News with Proxy authentication
My current internet accessis via corporate proxy server that requires authentication. If I run Internet Explorer and navigate to any site, I am first challenged for my credentials. The authentication demand is always explicit. In VS2005, the IDE is unable to display any internet content. (This also applies to the new MSDN library with its on-line content). The error message I get from the Start page > Visual Studio Developer News is: "The current news channel might not be valid or the Internet connection might be unavailable. To chane the news channel, on the Tools menu click Options, then expand Environment and click Startup." Does anyone know how I can get VS.NET to allow me to supply the credentials? Hi, You could access the Internet Explorer options in the Visual Studio 2005's Option/Environment/Web Browser property page, but there is no specific proxy authentication setting for VS2005. I am afraid you need to avoid the explicit proxy authentication while using the VS2005's internal browser. Thanks for your understanding!

I have done a bit of googling and found a product called Proxomitron (http://www.proxomitron.info/), which acts as a local proxy server. I configured Proxomitron to forward all requests to our corporate proxy server(s) with the required proxy authentication details set . This allows the proxy authentication to be automatic. As a result, online content now works with Visual Studio and Document Explorer! James Hebben >Thanks for the confirmation.
